Our Expertise
Consultation & Engineering

Jungbluth Frderketten is more than just a manufacturer of conveyor chains. We see our role as our
customers expert engineering partner for the field of conveyor chains. We accompany you from the
project planning phase, through the production and assembly stages right up to consultations on-site
where the chain is in use. On request we can check the condition of existing chains and offer comprehensive technical advice on necessary measures to be taken. We consider this as an indispensable part of the service we offer.
Screenshots of CAD drawings
In order to produce optimal chain drives we rely on a constant dialogue with our customers for the
further development and design of our chains. Over the course of the years we have developed comprehensive solutions for a great variety of applications, for example our maintenance-optimised chains
which do away with the need for environmentally damaging lubricants and preservatives. These chains
do not only serve to protect the environment, but also result in improved cost efficiency. There are
neither any costs for lubricants, maintenance work or waste disposal, nor are there risks of fire or
conveyor down-times. Our service does not come to an end with the delivery; our engineers and technicians are always on hand to provide support when the conveyor is in operation.
Material Selection and Quality

To ensure that the conveyor chains function properly and achieve a long lifetime it is essential that suitable and high-quality materials are used. The material selection is preceded by the determination of
the loads acting on the conveyor chain and by examining the conditions of operation. We have vast
experience in the selection of materials, particularly for extreme operation conditions, in corrosive
media as well as at high temperatures ranging up to 900 C.
Our company acquires all materials exclusively from long-standing and reliable partners.
Furthermore we subject the material to strict quality controls on reaching the company, before it is
approved for use in our production.
-6-
Precision in Production and Quality Assurance

Made by Jungbluth - the very highest quality is guaranteed because we ourselves manufacture the
products!
In addition to the selection of the materials, the precise manufacture and careful assembly of the individual parts of the conveyor chain determine its function, wear and lifetime. That is why we insist on
carrying out all the main production processes at our company. We only involve outside specialists
when we require special thermal processes or surface refinement.
Production of parts at our company

The machining of material on state-of-the-art CNC centres ensures that the even the strictest tolerance requirements are met. This way the essential quality features of a conveyor chain, a high pitch
accuracy, exact drive-fit connections and a precise articulation clearance between pins and brushes are
guaranteed, resulting in correct functioning, low wear and a long lifetime.
The subsequent assembly of the conveyor chain is carried out by qualified specialists and is subjected
(like all previous production processes) to the thorough testing which accompanies our production processes.
Following the Jungbluth conveyor chain development and production system, characterised by a
tight pooling of application, design and manufacturing know-how, we provide expertise from the design
phase up to on-line operation in your company.

The Basics
4.1
Structure of a Conveyor Chain
External link
External link plate
Pin
Internal link
Bush
Roller
Internal link plate
Fig. 1: Structure of a conveyor chain
Link plates
are made of steel according to DIN 17100 or DIN17200 with a minimum

tensile strength of 600 N/mm, or of stainless or heat-resisting steel. The
surface is strain-hardened by shot-peening to increase the endurance
strength. If necessary, a thermal treatment and / or a surface refinement
is carried out.
Pins
are made of case hardened steel according to DIN 17210 or of quenched

and tempered steel according to DIN 17200 due to being subject to wear,
bending and shearing-off. To achieve a high surface hardness and a high
toughness of the pin core, the pins are additionally heat-treated, applying
the procedures of case hardening, quenching and tempering, and
boundary-layer hardening.
Bushes
are subject to wear, bending and surface pressure. As material, mainly

case hardened steel is used. Like the pins they are heat-treated to
improve their material properties.
Small rollers
are subject to wear and shock. They are made of case hardened or
quenched and tempered steel with a corresponding heat treatment.
Large rollers /
collar rollers
are subject to high wear. They are made of case hardened steel or of
boundary-layer hardenable quenched and tempered steel. Normally, the
running surface is hardened. The bearing surface is either hardened, or
plain bearings or rolling bearings are used. As plain bearings, especially
wear resisting bushes, porous bearings, low-maintenance plain bearings,
plastic bushes, etc. can be used. As rolling bearings, mainly deep groove
ball bearings, cylindrical roller bearings, or needle roller bearings are
used. Plain and rolling bearings are also used if the tensile force of the
conveyor chain has to be maintained as low as possible.
Pushing /
Fastening links
are chain links to which fastening or pushing elements are bolted or

welded on. They are also produced as compact parts. The shape of these
elements depends particularly on the type of the material to be conveyed.
-8-
If the chain is intended to be used in extraordinary conditions, such as high or low temperatures, water
or aggressive media, we select the best suited materials for the construction of the individual parts of
the conveyor chain. In the production of our conveyor chains we direct our greatest attention to three
important quality features:
High pitch accuracy
to ensure perfect engagement conditions between chain and

chain wheel,
Exact drive-fit connections
between pins and link plates, or bushes and link plates, to

ensure the resistance against laterally acting forces to be as
great as possible,
Exact articulation clearance
adapted to the application, as a prerequisite for low wear and

tear and a long lifetime.
4.2
Lubrication of a Conveyor Chain
The links of a conveyor chain are connected with each other by means of pins and bushes (articulation elements). When the chain is guided round the chain wheel, an oscillating movement is produced
between pin and bush, leading to energy loss, wear and disturbing noise. These unpleasant side
effects, which also have a negative influence on the lifetime, are counteracted by a lubrication adapted
to the operational conditions. At the same time the corrosion of the conveyor chain is minimised. The
conveyor chains delivered have been provided by the company with a first lubrication and protection
against corrosion. It is essential that the user relubricates the chain regulary.
The user should also take into account that the cleaning of the chain depends on the lubrication
method. After cleaning you must ensure that there is still sufficient corrosion protection.
Conveyor chains can be constructed in such a way that regreasing can be carried out through lubricating nipples and bore holes. Also automatic lubrication systems are common in transporting plants with
conveyor chains. They have the advantage that unexpected dry-running is avoided and an optimal
dosage of the lubricant is possible.
The selection of the chain lubricant depends on the operating conditions of the transporting plant and
the requirements of the material to be conveyed. The main features for the selection of a suitable lubricant are:
Ambient temperature
Strain on chain conveyor
Conveying speed
Aggressiveness and state of aggregation of the surrounding media
Ability to run after failure of lubricant supply
Suitability for the intended lubrication method

Chain Drive Kinematics
4.3.1
Polygon Effect
When the chain is turning round the chain wheel, speed variations are produced due to the fact
that the chain does not describe the circuit of the pitch circle, but forms a polygon. It moves
towards the centre of the chain wheel causing a chain speed reduction, while rotation remains
uniform (polygon effect).

Fig. 3: Speed difference in dependence on the number of teeth
Conveyor chains with rollers running externally allow the chain to be guided on both sides up to
the middle of the chain wheel, by which a 50% reduction of the speed difference can be
achieved. This means that the run-in speed of the chain link into the chain wheel toothspace is
delayed to zero and that the run-in noise is reduced.

Types of Conveyor
The conveyors are subdivided in two main categories:

Sliding conveyor chains
Rolling conveyor chains
They are furthermore classified according to the following arrangement criteria:
5.3
Horizontal conveyance
Oblique conveyance
Vertical conveyance
Combined conveyance
Total Mass of the Material to be conveyed
This is the total mass of the material to be conveyed, which is resting and is to be moved on the
conveyor chains or on possibly existing supporting elements (plates, transverse bars, cross-rails, slat
bands, etc.).
According to the load distribution on the conveyor chain, a difference is to be made between point,
individual and linear loading. If the load is concentrated on a reduced area, the chain pins and rollers
have to be recalculated concerning deflexion and pressure, respectively, when dimensioning the
conveyor chain.
5.4
Load Carrying Capacity of the Rollers
The load carrying capacity of the rollers depends on the roller material, the type of bearing, the chain
velocity, the temperature, and the lubrication. For surface-hardened steel rollers, with a low chain
velocity (< 0,25m/s) and a sufficient surface pressure, up to 800 N/cm are admissible.
If rollers are made of quenched and tempered or of unhardened steel, of grey cast iron or of
synthetic material, lower bearing contact pressures are admissible (compare the following tables).
Advantages of synthetic rollers are:
No maintenance
Lightweight construction
Silent run
High chemical resistance
It is furthermore possible to improve the sliding properties of the rollers by means of bearing bushes.
A suitable bearing material is lead tin bronze (surface pressures up to 300 N/cm), but also special
bearing materials are appropriate for a low-maintenance operation.
The following tables 3a and b show admissible roller loads for conveyor chains according to DIN 8165
and DIN 8167, which have to be multiplied by the corresponding correction factors from tables 4 to 8,
using the formulae indicated:
Admissible load of the roller = table value f1 f2 f3 f4 f5

Calculation of the Total Tensile Force of Chain F
The total tensile force of a chain F results from the sum of the total circumferential tensile
force Fg, the supporting tensile force of chain Fs, and the centrifugal tensile force of chain Ff.
F = Fg + Fs + Ff
5.6.1
Chain Supporting Tensile Force Fs
The supporting tensile force of the chain is produced when the chain is freely sagging and
depends on the dead weight of the chain and the chain length of the sagging slack strand.
Fs =
MK 9,81 a d
f
1 + 16 2
8f
ad
Sag f results from the following equation:

f = 0,375 a d (l d a d )
5.6.2
(f
selected should be 10% of a d )
Chain Centrifugal Tensile Force Ff
The centrifugal tensile force of the chain is a tensile force depending on the chain velocity v and
the chain wheel diameter, which, as a component of the total tensile force of the chain, is to be
considered above all in the case of higher chain velocities.
Ff = MK v 2
where

v =

= 2pn
(n = number of revolution s of the chain wheel in s 1 )
Chain Circumferential Tensile Force Fg
The circumferential tensile force (effective power) results from the operating load dependent torque of
the chain drive to be transmitted. In the following you will find some formulae for the calculation of the
total circumferential tensile force Fg in dependence of the conveyor type. If the conveyor includes
various chain strands, the chain circumferential tensile force per strand Fi results from the relation:
